Description/Notes
How do bees make honey? Why are they so sweet on their queen? What hours do they work in their honey factories called hives? For all the buzz about honeybees, this Jump into Science title really is the bees' knees! The bee buzzing by you on a hot summer day is not a pest to sqat away. She's a honebee with a remarkable story to tell. So open your eyes, get out your sketchpad, and let's follow that bee! Our bee is a worker bee, and she's had lots of work to do. Each of her different jobs helps keep the hive humming. She's been a nurse bee, a house bee, a guard bee, and now she's a forager bee, who gathers nectar from flowers. Our busy bee's work helps more than the hive. Because of honeybees, flowers get pollen from other flowers, bear - and people - find honey for food, and kids can colour with crayons made of beeswax. Honeybees help the environment and help us too. Without bees, where would we be?
